Pop was interesting from the get go of the novel.  Most books are generally a bit slow and drawn out in the beginning of the book, but Korman wastes no time before jumping into the interesting content.  It stars off with Marcus practicing for the football tryouts in three alarm park, and right away, Charlie comes running in and changes everything.  Immediately questions are raised about the mysterious and intriguing character.  As the book progresses, there is always something going on to keep the pace of the book fast and interesting whether it be practicing with Charlie in three alarm park, playing in football games, or getting in trouble with officer Deluca.  Then the plot thickens when Marcus discovers the secret about Charlie Popovich having Alzheimer's and risks everything to take him to his college hall of fame induction.  Throughout the whole novel, Korman grabs the reader's attention and only tightens his grip until the very end.
